There have been allegations around
the existence of a Westminster paedophile ring for at least thirty years. These
allegations have gone hand in hand with suggestions of police corruption and
orders from on high to abort any form of
investigation into the existence of a Westminster paedophile ring, armed for
good measure with an alleged cover-up by the very authorities on which we
depend to investigate and prosecute guilty parties. These allegations concern
high ranking members of the highest order, including both current and past
MP’s, members of the house of lords, the secret services and high ranking
police officers. It was only under duress, that home secretary Theresa May
announced a public inquiry into the allegations last year. Two appointed
chairpersons of the public enquiry have been forced to stand down due to
concerns about their impartiality.
The members of high society are
accused of having systematically sexually abused children as young as eight
years old, the most vile and disgusting crime imaginable, yet none of this has
been properly reported in the so called “free” British press. In fact it took
an Australian journalist from the program 60 minutes to investigate and report
these allegations to any degree. This
has lead to further allegations against the British “free” press and media
channels of coercion in the alleged cover-up. Much of the general public are
both disgraced and disgusted that more has not been done to properly
investigate these allegations and bring the perpetrators of the alleged crimes
to justice. After all, we are all allegedly equal before the law and the law
applies equally to all of us, does it not?
Last weekend, NHS staff and their
supporters responded to wholly untrue allegations from our Secretary of State
for health Jeremy Hunt, that many NHS consultants are currently opting o
working weekends and this is leading to a higher likelihood of death for
patients admitted to hospital at the weekend. The response was a campaign on
social media site twitter using the hashtag #ImInWorkJeremy which achieved
widespread support. The campaign has been followed up by a petition on the
governments own petition website, that is ultimately calling for the
resignation of Jeremy Hunt. The petition received more than the required
100,000 signatures in less than three days, to initiate a potential debate in
the house of commons. However, the governments response to the petition, has
been to repeat it’s completely untrue rhetoric about a significant number of
NHS consultants opting out of working at the weekend and the alleged increased
likelihood of death for patients admitted to hospital at the weekend. Clearly
our government are not listening to the almost 186,000 people who signed the
petition.
This week, all but 48 of our
labour MP’s, toed the party line by abstaining from the vote on the second
reading of our governments welfare bill, which plans to further reduce the
benefits cap to £20,000 per annum for those living outside London, cut tax
credits for thousands of working families and abolish housing benefit for those
under the age of 21, to name a few. Then on Thursday, Tony Blair made a speech
where he said that anyone who has the politics of Jeremy Corbyn in their heart
needs a transplant. A vile and disgusting attack on those who support Jeremy
Corbyn in his campaign for leader of the labour party. Clearly, the other three
Blairite candidates and their supporters are getting worried about the
increasing popularity among the public for Corbyn. Growing numbers of people
are angry about the politics of the neo-liberalists such as Blair & co, the
liberal democrats and the tories. It is neither representing them, nor meeting
their needs. Jeremy Corbyn is the only candidate offering an alternative and
the neo-liberals are feeling threatened by this. Prepare for more vile and even
personal attacks on Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters.
Evidently the labour party are in
crisis. They have lost their way and forgotten the fundamental principles on
which the party was founded. The party no longer represents the vast majority
of poorer working people and instead are trying to chase the traditional labour
voters who left them at the last two general elections, with a tory lite agenda
that supports austerity, cuts to welfare, the selloff of our public assets, all
of which disproportionally effect poorer people. Ultimately I think the labour
party are finished as a major party in British politics, but if there is anyone
who might be able to save them, it is Jeremy Corbyn. I believe though, that
even if he is elected, the mammoth task at hand will prove too much even for
Corbyn, as there will be no end to the dirty tricks campaign his opposers and
others will go to in order to discredit him.
These are all very good examples
of why I suggest that democracy in Britain is in crisis, if not dead. They also
provide some of the reasons I have decided I cannot sit back and complain from
the side lines anymore. Radical action is needed. That is why I have setup a
new grassroots group for individuals who are concerned about the crisis our
society now faces. The groups purpose is to provide a platform for anyone with
UK residency to come together to discuss, debate, design and build a better,
fairer and more democratic UK society, where everyone will have an equal chance
to prosper.
Group meetings are being held
online as webinars and the first meeting of the group is scheduled for this
coming Monday 27th July at 8pm. Anyone who is UK resident and wants
to be a part of building something better can join us by sending an email to redesigndemocracy@yahoo.co.uk.
